What you will need:

For detailed information about how to install your libraries for use with Arduino you can check out the Adafruit page. If you are already familiar with Arduino and its enviroment, just follow the simple instructions below:

Extract the contents of (LED-Display-Adafruit-Libraries.rar) found in the link above.

Open the Arduino API and add the compressed libraries by going to Sketch / Include Library / Add .ZIP Library…

Introduce the libraries into your code using:

Should you want to use the examples that are found inside the library files, note that the files need to be copied into the main Arduino folder at the same level as the library folder. Not inside of it.

Now you are ready to start coding away at your ideas.

Here is a small example to get you started. This example prints a scrolling text to the LED Display.

Finally, if you are interested in trying your hand at a project but do not want to go through the hassle of building your own LED display, you can send us your code and we will run it and let you know how it looks.
